notabluesbro | 25th Confession [Written/Action][Early on the 23rd for MAXIMUM HEAT WAVE]

[Wolfwood's annoyed. Vash was snatched up just as things were getting calm, so to appease his gnawing aggravation over needle noggin's surprise vacation, he took to the lake more often; shockingly, he was getting pretty good at it, and as the days wore on, he was clearing more distance without stopping for a breather. Not to mention, staying stationary in Luceti meant losing muscle mass, and he had no room for losing the ability to tote that heavy son-of-a-bitch gun.

Of course, that talk with Sanji a few days back had him thinking. Always thinking, this one. He sits under a tree by the lake, still wet from the swim, with pen in hand. The question really takes him back. Reminds him of Vash and the girls, and of himself.]

[Written]

Hey, a question—how many of you were nomadic? Traveled from place to place, not really labeling one single town or house as a home?

[....]

And what d'you think of being stuck in one place?

[Afterwards, he starts back home after practicing Fire and his just recently sought-after wind magic (he spends a great deal of his time dealing with the spirits, now, because getting better and stronger was important; protecting people was important). Catch him on the way back if you want, or out training in the fields, or prior, at the lake. Whatever floats your boat.]

[And you can find, on your way back, one (1) Milly Thompson out for a stroll and carrying an ice cream cornet and completely utterly oblivious to the rest of the world because this ice cream is pudding flavoured and it is quite possibly the best thing ever.]

[... Covert operation, begin. Follow Milly Thompson. And once he's close enough, he snatches up that ice-cream and chomps a bite out of the top. Hi, honey, munch munch. :T

Don't worry, I'll give it back. I just need to see the look on your face when you turn around. Hopefully some pouting and grumping. That'd just be excellent.]

[Doop de doop de- ]

[-eh?]

[EH?!]

[Jumping jehosephats somebody's done gone and stolen my ice cream!]

[But it was delicious and pudding flavoured.]

[Aww nuts.]

[NOW TO CONFRONT THIS DASTARDLY DOER OF DEVILISH DEEDS!]

[...oh.]

If you wanted some of my ice cream you could have asked me, Mr. Priest.

But then I wouldn't get to see you make that face.

[... munch munch, before he offers it back. Just took two bites, so it totally wasn't stealing. :|]

[Looks at the depleted ice cream mournfully, then smiles because you totes have some ice cream around your mouth you big goober.]

You're lucky you're so cute and I love you so much or I'd have to get cross with you.

[Takes another lick then holds it out to him. Seconds?]

[8D Free ice-cream!]

You, getting cross with me? That'd just ruin my whole day, y'know.

Oh I wouldn't want that.

Oh, no, I'd just fall into a depressed stupor at it. It wouldn't be pretty.

[This is good ice cream. :|a]

Are you out and about just for this little guy?

[Not that he doesn't understand the feeling. Wandering around for little to nothing is great for the legs.]

That would be just awful! You're terrible company when you're in a depressed stupor Mr. Priest. And then I'd have to take matters into my own hands to cheer you up.

[Licks her ice cream thoughtfully because it is delicious.]

And I would have to tickle your ribs.

... [goddamn stupid truth week ;;] Riiight. That won't be necessary, promise. I'll be the happiest little preacherman in the whole universe.

[Just don't tickle me. In public, especially. I have a manly card that must not be revoked, okay?]

[Laughs... and then notices the way he looks.]

Your hair's all wet, Mr. Priest. What happened?

Huh? Oh—

[He runs a hand through it, smiling.]

Just, uh... went on a little swim. Practice for later.

Oh really? Did you have a nice time? What sort of swimming did you do? I've been reading in my book about all the types of stroke you can do; did you know that there's one called breast stroke? I didn't think you could get away with calling something a name like that.

[Whoooooa, nelly. He puts his hands up; is this an excitable interrogation?]

There are names? I think I'll just stick to calling it swimming.

[She laughs.]

Oh you are so silly sometimes Mr. Priest, but did you have a nice time?

Sure did! Especially in all this heat—reminded me of home, today, actually.

That must have been nice. I miss the hot sometimes; I don't think I'll ever really get used to having to put a sweater on, but it's nice not to have to spend all day being sweaty.
